'Joetheplumber' isn’tlicensed
Local man focus of presidential debate
By LARRY VELLEQUETTE and TOM TROY

I got the impression he is a plumbing contractor in which case he has
licensedplumbers working for him and he doesnotneed a license. I also
got the impression, with his chat with Obama, that hemadeOVER $250,000
a year and was going to get hit with Obama's tax increase for the wealthy.
Hardly ANY parts of the story was true.
He had plans, ambitions to take over his bosses' business. He tax
burden was much lower with an actual income of $40,000.
Yes, he will actually benefit nicely from Obama's plan.


BTW - He's related to Charles Keating, and the whole thing was a setup
engineered by the Republicons.- Hide quoted text -

The clear bias of the mainstream media is once again very apparent
here. * In nanoseconds they went out of their way to do everything
possible to discredit Joe the plumber. * *After all, he's a guy that
aspires to the American dream, plans to buy his boss's plumbing
business and worries that he could have an income over $200K and be
hit with Obama's tax increases.


All complete fantasy apparently. Based on his current profile and income
*it's the same as the local shelf packer at the supermarket suggesting
he's going to buy the entire chain.

* * So, he was fully investigated to

find out everything possible and within hours trucks and camera crews
from all the networks were on his front lawn.


Why are there no camera crews on the front lawn of William Ayers, the
terrorist? * The media gave Joe the plumber more scrutiny than they
gave Obama himself for that matter.


I wonder if we investigated your family and remote connections what we'd
find in your closets.

Excuse me, but I'm not running for president. And if I was, I would
expect it to be fair for anyone to investigate who my friends are,
what goes on in the church I attend, who helped launch me into
politics, etc.

The fact that the media went all out on Joe the plumber, who had the
audacity to ask a simply question of Obama, while turning a realtively
blind eye toward William Ayers, is OK with you? Here's another
interesting fact. A few days ago, I happened to be listening to
America's Most Wanted on the radio. They were looking for a 70's era
radical, wanted on felony charges, that has never been brough to
justice. Now, how is it that this guy is still on the most wanted
list, while Ayers, who got off on a technicality due to evidence
rules, goes around saying he thinks they should have bombed more and
has a friendly relationship with a candidate for the presidency?
